Electrical system failure. Electrical system fails while riding and restarting the bike. I had no power after riding 50 miles and stopping to refuel. I had just had a new battery installed. A new rectifier and stator was installed fall of 2015. This happened previously when I was driving through a parking lot of a mall and the bike died. In the five years that I have owned this bike, I have installed three batteries d four sets of staters/ rectifiers. I am ready to get rid of the bike. I never know where I might be when the bike will die. This is the most unreliable bike I have ever owned.

This problem happens every once in awhile. Afraid to take it out on any trip not knowing if I will make it home or not.
I was riding along and the bike died on me. Luckily I was at a traffic light and just began to start out in first gear when it died. I was coming back from a 150 mile trip and was 14 miles from home when it died. Tried jumping it but got no power. When the tow truck guy picked me up, he said it was my stator. *Tr
Inferior steering head bearing issue. For a 2006 suzuki boulevard c90t (vl1500t). On deceleration between 40-35 mph, the handle bar consistently shakes violently from side to side. Appears to be failure of oem ball bearings. Needs new tapered roller bearings to cure this dangerous condition. This will be a significant cost to remove and repair the steering head bearings ($35 for bearings and $250 dealer labor). The dealer states as well as suzuki america, that "this wobble condition is a characteristic of the...

bike". I purchased this used motorcycle on 03/31/2012. The bike had 4899 miles on it at the time of purchase. The wobble was noticed almost immediately after purchase. The dealer would only agree to tighten the steering head bearings, which in turn only slightly helped the severe wobble issue. Dealer advised of no cupping or wear problems with the tires. *Tr

I am reporting a defective part on the 2006 zuzuki c90t motercycle. The rear brake disc is built in two parts the inner mounting disc and the outer braking disc the two parts are revited together with eight large steel revites. After the use of one set of brake pads the disk is about too fall apart I discovered this while cleanning my cycle.
